Abstract: In aqueous solution, the synthesis of aryl sulfides derivatives from the reaction between thiourea and aryl iodides using copper as catalyst under microwave irradiation was investigated. A variety of aryl sulfides can be synthesized with yields up to 90%.

Key words: microwave irradiation synthesis, thiourea, aryl halides, aqueous solution
